Undated can drunk 9/18/25.
Cloudy pink lemonade with a big, pinkish head.
Smells like pink lemonade but the lactose gives an almost juicy vanilla character that keeps it soft and inviting. Clean, not too acidic, not sugary. Fruit feels authentic.
Juicy, yet soft and creamy. The tart, acidic lemon shouldn't work so well with the creamy, soft lactose, and yet, it seems to balance near perfectly. Light acidity, no punchy lactic acid, no dirty, milky lactose nor cheap, sugary fruit character.

16 oz. can. Aroma is mild raspberry and of course lemonade. Flavor has lemons upfront with a soft raspberry in the center. Strawberry is suggested but I’m not sure I actually get it in the flavor. Not overly sweet but some sugar is noticed. It delivers what the Brewer promised. Think whatever you want but the flavor is Raspberry lemonade.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque dark orange-red with nice sparkle, finger-width fizzy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is sweet candied strawberry and lemon (like Starbursts) along with milder tart lemon and hint of raspberry. Taste is strong sweet lemon over strawberry, as aroma, with lemon and raspberry contribution more in the tartness than flavor. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation, throat-clearing tartness and finish as taste. Overall, just finished mowing the lawn and this is cutting through that raspy throat real nice! But, so would a fruited seltzer. An enjoyable beverage but things are starting to stray pretty far from what I think of as beer. Seems soon enough we'll have beers where the beer is the adjunct.
